Summary in English:
Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.
If you are looking for a bilingual children's book in Scottish Gaelic that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.

Is e balach Ameireaganach coltach ri mòran eile a th' ann an Dylan. Tha aon rud ga fhà gail air leth bho chà ch ge-tà 's e sin gum buin a phà rantan do dhùthchannan eile agus gu bheil iad a' bruidhinn ris ann an cà nanan eadar-dhealaichte. Is e an-diugh a cho-latha-breith agus tha e a' faighinn prèasant fìor annasach a tha a' dol air chall greiseag an dèidh sin. Còmhla ris a' charaid as fheà rr aige, Emma - caileag shnog dhà -chà nanach aig a bheil pà rantan à Afraga a Deas - tha Dylan a' dol an lorg air a' phrèasant cho-latha-bhreith. Air an slighe, tha an dà charaid ag ionnsachadh mu luach cà irdeis, comas-bruidhne ann an cà nanan eadar-dhealaichte, agus mu bhith a' cur suim anns an dualchas is na cà nanan aca fhèin agus aig cà ch.
